Frostgrave - Rules

[Darkson71]

Just to say, you can't Leap directly off the board.

[recceboss]

Yes you can if the figure is carrying treasure....

[Darkson71]

My error, got myself confused with teleport (and actually, you don't need treasure).

[jp1885]

Another couple of questions.....

Thaw of the Lice Lord scenario 2.

1. If the Mage dies, he drops the treasure so it can be claimed by a warband in the usual manner.
After I mind control the mage and then use leap to get him off the board, my wizard will be able to claim the treasure in the usual way; i.e. I get the treasure, the mage returns to the Liche Lord in a dazed and confused state then gets punished. Correct?
Just want to double check because on page 11 it says 'if the treasure carried by the mage is recovered'...... and leaping a figure off the board with a treasure is recovering it 

2. If 1 warband leaves the table, usually it means that all remaining treasures are claimed by the warband still on the table.
But what about this scenario?
If 1 warband leaves the table, any remaining treasures will be claimed by the other warband but if the mage isn't dead, he won't have dropped the treasure and therefore it won't be claimable - he'll just wander off to the Liche Lord and claim his reward. So neither warband will get the 2 rolls on the Liche treasure table.
Correct?

1. You can't cast Mind Control on spellcasters, and although the mage is an NPC, I guess he's still a spellcaster.
2. Up to you I suppose. You could continue the game (maybe with your opponent playing the mage), roll dice for it or just give up the treasure as lost.

Thanks.

I was wondering whether the mage is considered a soldier with a special ability or a 'proper' spellcaster.

I thought the game would end in the normal way with the mage treasure being lost

Hi,

my friends and I are rather new to Frostgrave and came up to a couple of questions.

Leap:
Could you cast Leap to jump one of your henchmen out of a melee fight?
Could you cast Leap to jump off the board (with a treasure)?

[recceboss]

Yes and yes

A specific query about Scattershot:

Do ALL the figures affected by this have to be in LOS? It is an Area Affect spell so I would think you centre it on one of the foes in LOS but others can be affected as it is raining down from above like an air-burst weapon?

Thanks in advance

[joe5mc]

Scattershot - everyone takes a shooting attack originating from the caster. So, if there is no line of sight, the attack is not made.

Thanks for the clarification Joe - I still have difficulty visualising what this spell would look like or is trying to represent - not an "air burst" then as I suppose that would be too powerful...

[critsmash]

A couple questions specific to forgotten pacts. Will try not to spoil:
1. Save the prince scenario: new barbarian enters every turn or just the first?
2. Sword of feasting: Does the wizard have to use it or can it be used by others/stay in the vault to get the out of game bonus?

Cool scenario by the way!

Thanks!

Yet another Thaw of The Liche Lord question.

My wizard and apprentice are wearing the Eyes of Amoto amulets.

For the 1 time in a game that one of them is allowed to draw line of sight from the other spellcaster, can they use that spellcasters Wizard Eye?

Usually they have to have their own wizard eye but is this an additional benefit of the Amulets?

[joe5mc]

Recceboss - No, you can only use the other caster, not his wizard eye. (Imagine you are using line of sight from the other amulet).

Critsmash - 1. Every turn 2. Any figure can wield it, but only a spellcaster who wields it in a game and does damage to a demon during the game gets the Casting Bonus. He has to do his own dirty work.

Pyshic Bob - Imagine a small bolt of lightning shooting out from the caster at every creature in range and line of sight.

Gotcha now Joe! You were horizontal to my vertical :-)

[Ulli]

Maybe this has been asked sometimes before, but I didn't find it.

There are some spells, rules and artifacts in the rulebook that specify bows and crossbows only.
With the Javelineer and blackpowder weapons there are much more ranged options than before.

How will Enchant Weapon work with them? Or Call Storm?
And thinks like that.
